I couldn't agree more! I wasn't the happiest with my number, but I had the best time waiting from 5:00 am with one break than ever

Subject: [u2tour] Re: GA procedure, my experience in Pittsburgh

U2 Dave is a guy named Dave who is on U2's staff who was appointed after the disastrous CA shows to be the pointman between venue staff and fans for each city. I'm sure he does many other things as well, but he moves the GA line on property, talks to security, tries to make sure the venue puts policies in place that won't kill people, etc.

And people weren't in line all night to have people show up in front of them. If people were let to line up all night this wouldn't be an issue.

Basically what's happened with venues on this tour is that they have been incredibly strict about not letting people camp overnight. They set an arbitrary time and say that's when people are allowed on property. Of course, people are still going to show up and try to queue and it's all just led to a lot of grief with the venues. I imagine what's happening with lists now originally started as a sort of compromise. In other words, one or two fans stay and take numbers- this placates the venues since one or two fans is certainly better than a hundred camping on the sidewalk. At a point an hour or two before the venue is allowing people on site, all the fans come and reform the line off site and then are allowed on venue property. With every show since the CA shows, this has been done by U2 Dave. Once they're on property, people hang out all day like any other tour's GA line.

This worked fine for the first American leg, and I can't remember going any earlier than the night before or very early morning the day of to get a number. This leg has been much, much crazier with lines starting a lot earlier. I've said quite a few times in earlier posts that I think they're starting way too early (but it becomes a sort of self-perpetuating thing and gets earlier and earlier - hopefully being back in arenas will help things out a bit) but the fact remains that this discussion has become ridiculous in its bitterness.

Everyone seems to be leaping up to ascribe awful characteristics to people they don't even know and presuming to know what happened at shows they didn't even go to. In Pittsburgh there were perhaps two people in front of me (the ones at the very, very front of the line) I knew from other shows. Those girls went above and beyond the call of duty in coordinating with security and U2 people.

All the big name 'Regulars' were actually behind me in the queue. The people ahead of me were neither cruel nor bullies nor members of some secret U2 cabal. Most of them were locals (well, relatively local - many had driven in from Ohio or Philly or other east coast locations) who were good natured and well-meaning and just wanted things to go well. Generally speaking, that's true of most everyone I've met at the head of the line. Sure, they want their spots. But they could just as easily come a little later and be number five or whatever and sit on their asses all day and not try to help out and still get their spots.

So come on people. If you want, we can all brainstorm great ways to make this work better next tour. But how about backing off on all the vitriol?

Brian Wilson once said that "California Girls" is the Beach Boys' theme song,
and no one captures the essence of summer better than these guys. Hear the hit that made girls across America wish they were one of the band's West Coast favorites.
The 'Boys also gave a nod to Midwest farmers' daughters and hip, East Coast girls. Which ones do you think are best?

I'm not sure MOST of the people are even responding to the first posters main problem - not that people get a number and are gone all day (which I can see a problem if they are there only 5 min out of 12 hours). I believe the real issue was that some people WERE NEVER THERE PERIOD until the next day and that friends were saving numbers for people. Sorry, you cannot do that. I am sorry if your brother, girlfriend, mother, etc, cannot get there until such and such a time - u do not get to save them a place in line.

I believe someone said it about one boston show, the Cleveland Elevation show was run PERFECTLY. The arena gave out numbered bracelets at 10 am and told us to come back at 5pm. If you were in the first 300 you knew you were in - simple solution, solves ALL these dumb problems.
